Italy's 'nuclear option' to migrant crisis: give EU visas to 200,000 incomers and send them north
The Daily Mail ^ | July 15, 2017 | Liz Dunphy

Italian government officials have threatened to issue temporary EU visas to thousands of migrants in an effort to deal with Italy's escalating migrant and refugee crisis that would allow new arrivals to travel north.

In what has been described as a 'nuclear option,' Italian government officials have threatened to allow 200,000 migrants who enter the country to travel across Europe by using a Brussels directive, The Times reports.

More than 86,000 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean to Italy already this year.

Italy has been struggling to cope with a huge rise in people fleeing north Africa and hundreds of asylum seekers are now packed into overcrowded centres in small villages throughout the country which have been dubbed 'human warehouses' by locals.

No, the nuclear option is forward defense. Seize NOG ferries. Pate offshore Afrfica, and return all boats to shore under penalty of sinking. Confiscate all motorized rafts. Etc, etc.

Funny how most of Africa was once colonized by European powers. Then came the time that these colonies wanted their Independence from their “oppressive” colonists.
Now these Africans want to hide in the countries of their former masters.
Africa truly is the white man’s burden.

Tow the boats back to Africa, give passengers food and water as needed.

Upon arrival, shoot the captain for piracy, in front of crew. Sink the boat.

Departures will soon drop to zero. Its actually the most humane way to end this crisis.

Italy needs to adopt the same policies that Hungary and Poland have adopted. Close the borders or it will soon be an African country.

The problem is that most of Europe is run by people too stupid to realize they are being invaded and conquered slowly.

Two problems. One, the ‘captains’ of the 40-foot dingies pretend to be passengers and the passengers aren’t talking, and two, the Turks/Ukrainians are providing luxury crossings at $7K/head. We’re going to have to sanction Turkey, Ukraine, Sudan, Somalia and Ghana, along with Bangladesh and Libya. Or, run a blockade of the Libyan coast.

But don’t sink the real boats. Raffle them off on $1 tickets and use the proceeds to fund the blockade.

“Sometimes the Bangladeshi traffickers take some extra money from the Bangladeshi aspirant migrant saying that they will be facilitating in well-built boats.
Rana said: “Actually all the boats are the same. They are either made of rubber or wood. Most are rubber boats. Everyone needs to board on the same boats. Some pay extra money hoping to get well-furnished boats but they discover they are among hundreds on a rubber dinghy.”
The boats are used only once.
The 40-foot long boats that ferry the migrants have no confirmed point of origin. They are operated by Africans from Sudan, Somalia or Ghana.
Rana said: “Every boat has three to four drivers who are passengers like me but they do not need to pay any money since they can sail the boat.”...Whenever they see the light of any ship, the boat operators disguise themselves as passengers to prevent being fined by the Italian Navy.

“Since the beginning of the year, the Sicilian authorities have registered 125 migrants who have arrived on yachts and sailboats, mostly piloted by Ukrainian skippers, a lucrative and growing trend...“It is likely that the organization is made up of Turks who use professional Ukrainian skippers...”

The pope seems to really like the illegal invaders. Send them all to the vatican.

That's why Europe colonized Africa. So they can introduce them to culture, modern technology, and a system of government and civil society so they don't have to come to Europe.

The leftist version that Europeans colonized Africa to strip them of their resources and let the people starve and die is pure horse feces.

You have a continent that has the most natural resources in the world, a favorable climate, and conditions to create and sustain a highly advanced civilization. Here are the problems:

- Islam
- Military juntas
- Corrupt, tin-pot dictators who exploit their own people.

If I was Italy, I wouldn't take any of these people in. Sink the boats. They'll get the message.

I think that is what the idea is by whomever is
orchestrating the African/Muslim invasion of Europe.
Italy gets tired of being invaded so the invaders
get shuffled off to northern Europe. White northern
Europe gets swamped.

The migrant crisis is what happens when your citizens stop focusing on the family and stop having children.
